She collapsed like a pack of soft cards; tumbling with nonchalant ease towards
the ground,
She collapsed like briquettes of black coal plummeting rampantly; caressing the earth at tumultuous speeds,
She collapsed like silken feathers of a protuberant pigeon; hurtling towards the soil at swashbuckling velocity,
She collapsed like a flimsy spider web; diffusing incoherently into infinite splinters of grey thread,
She collapsed like a stick of ice candy; melting rapidly around the periphery of bare wood,
She collapsed like a ball of swollen paper; deflated thoroughly with a rusty iron pin,
She collapsed like a jagged rope of jute; dangling languidly from unprecedented heights of the wall,
She collapsed like an insipid follicle of hair; adhering frigidly to the scalp,
She collapsed like a snow-white flamingo; diving down when permeated by a fleet of pugnacious lead bullets,
She collapsed like an ultra light wire of aluminum; distorting horrendously with the zipping second,
She collapsed like a log of loose timber; embedded with scented saw dust powder,
She collapsed like a rotund bar of glittering gold; impregnated with chips of badly squashed pearls,
She collapsed like a pipe inundated with water; bulging incongruously at the sides,
She collapsed like a mountain of free mud; blending profusely with the clayey soil,
She collapsed like a spongy button; bouncing umpteenth number of times on the
roughened mud,
She collapsed like a pouch of chili powder; bursting irrationally into a million
particles on the floor,
She collapsed like a conglomerate of matchsticks; blown in entirety with
infinitesimal draughts of wind,
She collapsed like a lifeless beetle; as if stripped of its opalescent wings,
She collapsed like a lackadaisical sandwich divested of pepper; lying dilapidated and forlorn amidst heaps of garbage,
She collapsed like a steel nugget does; when heated in swirling fires of sweltering heat,She collapsed like a slender nib of a fountain pen; when pressed nimbly on
bonded paper,
She collapsed like a shard of tainted glass; when struck by a small sized
corrugated stone,
She collapsed like a ship incorporating scores of rooms; resting on a foundation of white sand,
She collapsed like pallid tendrils of a parasitic creeper; sticking nimbly to the greasy wall,
She collapsed like a chain of jingling silver; suspended apathetically from the angular neck,
She collapsed like a rotten fruit; squelching disdainfully beneath the most negligible of pressure,
She collapsed like a diseased snake; slithering helplessly in the sprawling creepers,
She collapsed like a stone wall hovering tentatively in the air; without the slightest of concrete foundation,
She collapsed like whirlwinds of yellow dust; eventually mixing with the desert sand,
She collapsed like a cracked needle; emanating screeching noises while
juxtaposing with the mud,
She collapsed like the broken shell of a monstrous egg; crumbling erratically in all directions,
She collapsed like a pierced balloon; cascading in its bedraggled shape into the
green fields,
She collapsed like weak water; transforming into large pools after striking the earth,
She collapsed like long noodles; breaking indiscriminately even when touched by
the faintest of heat,
She collapsed like a lifeless individual; existing on this earth without a perpetual entity,
There was a time when she was constructed taking loads of scrupulous care; soaring high in the silken clouds; intimately kissing the rustic breeze,
She had never dreamt of falling; neither had the tiniest of insinuation of the events to unveil the succeeding day,
While at present she lay completely camouflaged under a mangled heap of debris; with a large ensemble of buried bodies crying hoarsely in pain,
The building which augmented the pride of the street for many years; now lay
wholesomely decimated; gruesomely destroyed after suffering the brunt of the disastrous earthquake.
